Supply Lines of the American Revolution: The Northern Theater, 1775-1777

About this board game

Supply Lines of the American Revolution: The Northern Theater, 1775-1777 is a two-player game of supply, logistics, and deceit, with approximately 180 minutes of play time. Set during the first three years of the American Revolutionary War, it places one player in command of the rebellious Americans and the other in control of the Crown’s effort to bring the rebellion to an end.

The game focuses squarely on the challenges of supply. Rather than modeling every aspect of warfare, it emphasizes protecting, moving, capturing, and effectively using resources to advance your objectives while disrupting your opponent’s plans. The exact victory conditions can vary according to the historical events the players choose to reenact.

Supplies are represented on the board by wooden cubes and come in two distinct forms:

• Food Supply is spent to move your units.
• War Supply is used to fight.

There is no hidden information, but you must still judge what your opponent intends to do. Flexible movement rules create room for bluffing, misdirection, and sudden changes of plan, making every supply decision matter.

Supply Lines of the American Revolution rewards bold play, yet even a small mistake can become costly if your opponent is clever enough to exploit it. Success depends on balancing movement, combat, resource protection, and deception while pursuing the victory conditions of the chosen scenario.
